The Rempire State Building is making his mark on our nation’s capital.
Matt Rempe landed a thunderous hit on Trevor van Riemsdyk against the end boards in the first period of the Rangers’ Game 3 win over the Capitals , leveling the Capitals defenseman to the ice and knocking him out for the remainder of the game with what the home team described as an upper-body injury.
“That was a dirty hit,” Dowd told reporters. “I think anybody can understand that Riems made a play, time passed, although quickly, and I think a player took advantage of another player in a vulnerable spot.”
“I’m sick and tired of losing defensemen to ‘clean hits’,” defenseman John Carlson added. “It’s frustrating how guys can get injured and it’s legal.”
Rempe finished the game with four hits in just over five minutes of ice time as the Rangers moved to a 3-0 series led.
